Tech N9ne featured Eminem on his “Speedom” song from his Special Effects album, which was released in May.
During an interview with City Pages, Tech N9ne says he did not meet Eminem while working on the first song on which they appeared together, 1999’s “The Anthem.”
“My first time shaking Em’s hand face-to-face [was] on the video set,” Tech N9ne says during the interview of “The Anthem” video shoot. “We always had a good vibe. I’m just happy to be in the circle of these extreme lyricists.”
“The Anthem” was featured on Sway & King Tech’s 1999 album, This Or That. The song also featured Pharoahe Monch, Chino XL, Kool G Rap and KRS-One.
While at the shoot for the song’s video, Tech N9ne also says he was surprised by KRS-One’s reaction to seeing him.
“He pointed at me and winked at me and said, ‘Yes sir,’” Tech N9ne says. “I was like, ‘Wow, KRS-One acknowledged me.’ When I was coming in, Eminem was coming out. ‘Brother, how you doing man?’ ‘What’s up Tech? How you doing?’ It was a wonderful experience, thanks to Sway and King Tech.”

Slow day for hhdx.
I know that’s you boman lol
I remember that video. As a 14yr old KCMO kid at the time i was like “Tech bout to blow up!” It was a slow process but always happy the hometown guy finally gets his respect. Good dude too
They all brought their A-game but in my opinion Chino XL ran away with the song. That guy seriously undervalued, his last album killed it!
Id have to say Em and Pharoahe were my faves. But yeah… “I wake up your weapon and sway and tech my tech my techs like tekken the industry weapon im Chino x bring KRS in!” Dope
Its a bit sickening to keep hearing Tech Stan Em.
Why? Because the interviewer asked him a question and he answered it? Read the original article instead of HHDX’s click bait excerpts.
Ha! Shit made me laugh
i remember when i used to smoke crack with eminem before dr dre discovered him.
Ha! This shit made me laugh
The Speedom beat was whack as fuck. Obnoxious, just like that Busta Rhymes/Eminem joint a year a so back. I expect better taste from all these guys.
